Colored sketch of my new DnD character.

He goes by "Dara" and he is a Centaur Ranger. He is a very big lad, and quite clumsy, but he means well. He's trying to find a place he fits in, figuratively and literally!

Sketch design of my new DnD character, "Dara", or Darrough Glenstrider. He is a large centaur man inspired by a Clydesdale horse. He has very curly orange-strawberry blonde hair and a long wavy/curly tail with the same coloration. His skin is tan from working outside for long periods of time. His lower half is a brown, stocky horse body with long white feathering at his hooves. He is wielding a long halberd that is slightly small for his size. His equipment is a mix of layered scale and leather armor and a saddle. He also has numerous saddle bags wherein he keeps lots of extra snacks and traveling goodies.

The Eye of Nidhogg & Armor Stained Red by Blood

Estinien

Still in a Heavensward mood >:]c

#shmiart #FFXIVART #FFXIV
Fanart of the character Estinien Wyrmblood from FFXIV, depicting him from the Heavensward Expansion, wearing his old Dragoon armor, cast red from the blood of the foes he has slain. Side profile, inspired by the iconic Final Fantasy Dragoon pose, of the calves up, a man with long silver hair in pointy, sharp armor, holding his long, blue-purple spear in one hand, and a glowing eye in the other, wreathed in the flames of revenge and hatred. An older drawing I fixed up and recolored a while ago!

I love Ysayle so much!

💙❄️💙 Our Lady Iceheart, Our Shiva 💙❄️💙

#shmiart #FFXIVART #FFXIV
Fanart illustration of Ysayle, or Shiva, or Lady Iceheart, from FFXIV's ARR & HW. She has icy blue skin and silvery hair in the shape of ice spires. She has a form fitting blue, silver and grey-see-through outfit. The angle is slightly from bellow, and she is moving her hands to conjure a frigid gale of cold air.

Here's a version of him in his undies (sorry) so I could share his scars too! I need to learn how to draw his body shape better aaaaaaaaaaaaa
BUT
Draw it now, make it perfect later, right? 😤

A reference sheet of my FFXIV OC, Oracio Vivalio. It includes a back, front, left facing, right facing and side shot of his full body in his undergarments. Listed as well are some basic bits of information about him, including his nickname, Ori, his race (Wildwood Elezen x Duskwight Elezen), his nameday or birthday (11/17), his height (6'10" or 208 cm), his pronouns (he/him), his gender (intersex), his sexual orientation (pansexual and polyamorous), his personality type (ENTJ), his enneagram (3w2), and his star sign (scorpio). On the bottom I have quickly drawn a few expressions I wanted to share: scheming, angry, deranged, miserable, fussy, VERY surprised, and laughing honestly. The colors I have used for his base colors are listed on the bottom right, including a two depictions of his eyes.

Old-ish Alisaie & Alphinaud fix-up

I've had Endwalker on the brain again...

#shmiart #FFXIVART #FFXIV
Alisaie and Alphinaud from FFXIV, in a pose inspired by their fight scene in the opening cinematic for the Endwalker expansion! Alisaie leaning forward with her Red Mage weapon, while Alphinaud is behind her, with his Sage nouliths glowing. Older drawing, and it has a lot of problems, but I had a lot of fun drawing it, and I've been feeling nostalgic for Endwalker (even though it wasn't that long ago)

Welcome back to FFXIV Hiroyo! Ready for more (mis)adventures? >:]c

#shmiart #FFXIVART #FFXIV
A friend's Au Ra, Hiroyo, jumping onto the back of my character, Oracio, probably mid toppling over because he is a stick and she is a powerful little tank! Hiroyo standing proudly as a village burns in the background that Ori is trying to get her attention over, while the FFXIV Duty Complete hovers in the background. Ori bonking Hiroyo on the head as Duty Failed plummets in the background.

Aaand the last two I scribbled for it! Sorry these are quite old, but I had a lot of fun getting into the storyline of the ultimate!

The silhouette of a dragon, Hraesvelgr, upon a bright red background, with Thordan's sword splicing the image in two The two Elezen from before, Haurchefant and Ysayle, as onlookers, perhaps spectral spectators, or ghosts/spirits, saying goodbye, because only in the timeline where they fell to their tragic fates were so many lives saved or somethingsomethignsomething

Casually just thinking about Dragonsong's Reprise alternate storyline again :)c

#shmiart #FFXIVART #FFXIV
Fanart of Hraesvelgr after being taken control over in the Dragonsong Reprise Ultimate. Large white, feathered winged dragon with great curving black horns, with a magical circle around his neck, along with a golden collar. Haurchefant and Ysayle from FFXIV, two silver haired Elezen, almost half cut off by the side of the screen, looking wildly upset, torn, and distressed over a terrible scene unfolding before them. Ysayle, a silver haired Elezen woman in blue, watching in horror and tears as the dragon Hraesvelgr charges into a brutal battle against his will. Haurchefant, a silver haired Elezen in grey, gold and yellow armor, moving to face off against King Thordan, having become a massive primal knight-king.
